T1 Energy • Austin, TX

73d

About The Position

T1 Energy is looking to hire an Accounts Payable Specialist to join our Finance and Accounting team. This is a high-ownership role for an AP professional who brings more than just transactional experience; you'er someone who understands controls, thrives in complex, high-volume environments, and takes pride in building processes that are clean, documented, and audit ready. You'll be a go-to resource for complex AP issues, month-end close support, and cross-functional problem solving, working closely with Procurement, Purchasing, and Shared Services to keep our payables operation running with precision. If you've spent time in a SOX- controlled or public company environment and you're ready to bring that rigor to a fast-growing manufacturer, this role was built for you.

Requirements

• Deeply knowledgeable in PO-based AP processes, three-way match, and invoice coding.
• Controls-minded and trustworthy, with strong judgment around payment approvals and confidential vendor information.
• Detail-oriented and persistent — you drive issues to resolution and don't let things sit in limbo.
• A clear, service-oriented communicator who follows up cross-functionally without needing to be asked twice.
• Process-minded with a continuous improvement approach — you see the manual workaround and immediately start thinking about how to eliminate it.
• Calm and organized when managing multiple priorities in a high-volume close environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of accounts payable experience.
• Working knowledge of PO-based AP processes, three-way match, and invoice coding.
• Experience creating payment proposals in multi-entity and multi-currency environments.
• Strong Excel skills and hands-on experience with an ERP or AP workflow system.
• High attention to detail and strong communication skills for cross-functional follow-up.

Nice To Haves

• Public company or SOX-controlled environment strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Process PO and non-PO invoices with accurate coding, approvals, and supporting documentation in compliance with company policy and SOX expectations.
• Resolve PO, receiving, and pricing discrepancies by partnering with Procurement and Purchasing; document resolution paths and maintain clear audit trails.
• Prepare payment proposals, validate vendor banking details per controls, and support ACH, wire, and check runs including remittance communication and issue resolution.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for vendor inquiries, managing statement reconciliations, dispute resolution, and professional, timely communication.
• Assist with AP accruals, prepaid and reclass support, GR/IR cleanup, and reconciliations.
• Provide schedules and supporting documentation for auditors as needed.
• Support vendor onboarding including W-9/W-8 collection, tax classification, and documentation in accordance with established controls.
• Manage changes to vendor profiles with appropriate approvals and audit trails.
• Identify recurring issues, propose solutions, and help implement standard work including SOPs, templates, and checklists.
• Contribute practical improvements that reduce manual follow-up, rework, and exception cycle time.

Benefits

• We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect.
• We also have a "no-jerks" policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or "that's not my job attitude".
• Be sharp, be honest, be human.
• If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.
• T1 Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
• We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants and do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics.
